Microsoft's E3 press conference was horrible like we didn't expect this at all. At least we got some more on the new South Park RPG.

Super-Claus

Sony's conference this year will probably be alot like Nintendo's was last year, minus the console debut. Other than some big announcement for PS+ and alot of Vita stuff, theirs should be pretty linear.

Now Nintendo's conference should be a little harder to guess at. We already know it will be mainly Wii U focused, since the 3DS is going to have its own special little conference later. I really hope the Wii U shop is ready right out of the box instead of a week or so later liike with the 3DS. Now other than a bunch of third party games, and "supposedly" a new mario game, we know nothing of the first party lineup. It would be *crag*ing amazing if they launched it with a new game for one of their main IPs, like the rumored mario game or a zelda, metroid etc, just like they used to do for their consoles.

Yeah, I don't see how Spike managed to positively comment on Microsoft's presentation.  Hah, one of Spike's complaints about Nintendo was that there were no new franchises.  I didn't hear that brought up about Microsoft, but they didn't have any new franchises either...

Here's all the details Iwata was willing to give on the subject of Miiverse comment filtering.

- three levels of security
- first level is software-based content filtering for bad words
- second level includes newly hired people who will police the Miiverse
- this filtering will be done before the posts are published
- the time it takes for a message to post depends on how many people are posting and how many staffers Nintendo has working on the project
- Iwata looking for feedback at launch for how long is an acceptable time to wait for sending a post to the Miiverse to actually publishing
- Iwata feels that 30 minutes from post sent in to being published on the Miiverse is acceptable
- third level of security involves gamers themselves, since they can flag questionable posts

thank you for protecting me, Nintendo, from the big bad scary internet

It's most likely just for that thing that pops up when you first start up the Wii U, everything else will probably have a parental adviser and control option in-system just like the other systems, hell even the wii had it. Honestly I don't really care, private messaging will still most likely be uncensored, and group/friend messaging will probably be uncensored as well. I already predicted this when they showed it off at the Pre-E3 thing anyways. It makes perfec sense that the public message board would have censorship, and it's not so much to protect the children as it is the fact that some people just don't like seeing obscenities up on the screen whenever they boot up their system. I DON'T however approve of the read-before-display thing (except I don't mind it for that big boot up thing becuase that is obviously not urgent, unlike group/friend messaging)

It’s arguable that the current Humble Indie Bundle is the best one yet. I’d argue it. I’m arguing it right now. But incredibly, it just got better. Added to Bastion, Superbrothers, Limbo, Psychonauts and Amnesia are Super Meat Boy, Braid, and bundle first-timer, Lone Survivor. Oh my goodness.

When speaking to Humble’s Richard Esguerra earlier today, I took the chance to ask him about what difference these extras can make. You can see that below.

Mario's Super Sticker Collection
On the day of the annual Sticker Fest, Bowser decides to pull a prank and scatters six Royal Stickers across the land. To retrieve these mysterious, magical stickers, which are now stuck onto Bowser and his underlings, Mario sets off on an adventure with Kersti, a sticker fairy, visiting prairies, deserts, forests, snowy mountains and volcanoes around the world.
Features:
Stickers are blended into every aspect of game play. They become your arsenal of items and attacks in traditional Paper Mario action-battles and can even unfold the environment to reveal new areas and ways to progress through the game.
Collect stickers by peeling them off their environment, buying them in shops, or even making your own, and store them in your notebook for later use.
"Paper"-ize the world by flattening it out and then use your stickers to find secret areas and hidden items just about anywhere in the game.
The papercraft setting of the game is really emphasized in 3D, giving you the feeling of peering into and exploring a world comprised of shoebox dioramas.
A cast of colorful characters will keep players laughing at every turn.

i'm sure the wii u provides great entertainment and all but playing video games for more than 3 hours at at time is unhealthy anyway
and it's not like the wii remote lasted any longer anyway, you eventually had to change the batteries or charge rechargeable batteries for it

Watch_Dogs? Pikmin 3? South Park? ZombiU? Or whatever the hell else they announced? Spill it.

 

Personally I'm going to say ZombiU. The trailer and gameplay looked really interesting, there's some actual horror unlike most modern games, and it used the controller pretty well. Along with more stuff revealed like the permadeath mechanic, it looks pretty cool. I'm a bit worried about how the shooting is going to be, but I'll give it a shot.

Pikmin 3 takes my second spot and Watch_Dogs takes third.

Nastasia
beyond and reggie
yes reggie is a game because i said so
Super-Claus
Beyond is more of a "experience" than a "game", strictly speaking. So of course I gotta give it to Pikmin 3 and then ZombiU, though Nintendo land looks pretty promising.

Coming from a NEOGaf user:

-Gamepad's battery life is 3-5 hours
-2 hours and 30 minutes to charge
-depends on the brightness of the screen
-you can use gamepad while charging


Three to five hours doesn't seem like much. But as long as we can use the controller while charging those long gaming sessions should be no problem.

#nintendo The point of the Wii U is that it has a fancy, touch-screen controller. That may not be suitable for all titles, though. Especially ones being ported from other consoles. For that, much like the Wii, the Wii U will have a Pro Controller, one resembling those of Nintendo's competitors. More »

first of all on the back of the new version of the controller that are now more bumped our ridges on the side so it feels more like a regular controller, that little box right below the D pad is a item scanner (puts shit into your game, think skylanders), and the analog sticks also act as an L3 and R3. The tablet is also a universal remote for ANY device (specifically TVs though) and can function Without the system being on.

WiiU account system and social networking thing:

Okay so this thing us actually pretty cool. The system can interact with all other Wii U's even in single player games. A  posting system lets you do what a posting system usually does. They showed a trailer thing where a guy was all "hkabfhkbfhkasf can't beat this enemy" and ask for help on the nintendo network, got called up by some people on a video chat, and they helped him beat the enemy. Seemless flow from game to chat, and it does as the 3DS does by suspending the game for you, when it pulls this stuff up. You can also see little miis with qoutes above their heads of peoples status and comments about whatever level they're on. This Nintendo Network internet socializing account thing also syncs up with other devices, like phones computers etc.

Kick ass controller for those who don't want to use wii remotes or tablet:

So yes this thing controls the system as well and you can use it instead of the tablet if you want it to. It looks *crag*ing sexy. GUGHHHH SYMMETRY IN A CONTROLLER FINALLY GUGHHHHHHHHHH

There was tons of other stuff as well but this is the cool stuff.

as far as order goes it's just like gamecube, b is lowest, A is middle right, x is middle left(ish), and y is top.
Position as far as position goes I'm sure we'll get used to it

It's a sort of Minecraft/Terraria/Fort Wars game, but they appear to be pushing the boudaries somewhat. Little rough around the edges from the looks of the video, but nothing particularly hard to fix. I'm gonna download their current release and see how well it plays.

Fallen Shade

I'm excited, not only for how *crag*ing awesome this game looks but the fact it's already leagues better than minecraft in every way possible.

Gold Prognosticus
I don't think that the physics-based movement needs removing, rather it just needs some improvement - this is still a very early build of the game, they have plenty of time to get all the problems worked out.
